"No sympathy" for Chauvin, say those who had run-ins before Floyd

Hernandez said he never heard anything from the Minneapolis police after submitting a complaint about Chauvin, who he said "choked him out" during an encounter in a Minneapolis night club in 2015. A spokesman for the Minneapolis Police Department declined to comment. According to Chauvin's police report, Hernandez failed to follow orders and resisted arrest when Chauvin, who was working as an off-duty security guard, tried to escort him out of a night club. Chauvin's report said this prompted him to apply "pressure toward his Lingual Artery" to subdue Hernandez. Hernandez said Chauvin picked him out of the crowd for no reason and quickly escalated to violence. He said Chauvin should have been removed from the police force.
